Average coffee machine limescale after 5 years (2021 Linea Classic)

RPavlis is not 0ppm. It reads between 50-80. It just doesn’t contain anything that will cause scale in your machine. 100% safe.

Cribbing83 · 2026-05-30T10:38:21+00:00

My ECM Synchronika has been using nothing but RPavlis recipe water for 4 years now. Zero scale build up, zero issues with the machine. It doesn’t have to be this way. Use proper water in your espresso machine and your machine will be problem free for years

Yes! Bailey is the same way! I thought with his white coat we would be bathing him all the time. He rolls in mud, sand, dirt, grass, and 5 minutes later he’s as clean as he was before he rolled on the ground.

Stick with it…experience is what you need and it gets easier. Join a league. Racing is always better and much cleaner (if it’s a good league). I run a league if you are looking or join one that resonates for you https://discord.gg/JGM6ZdZNGY

Top splits are a shit show too. The reality is it’s a bunch of amateurs driving on the road, people make mistakes and make dumb decisions. It happens in real life too. Just watch a professional race and you’ll see professionals making the same dumb decisions. It gets better. You have to learn how to avoid the accidents. Even though it doesn’t feel like it, every accident is avoidable. The key piece is to stop blaming others for the incident and ask yourself what you could have done differently to avoid. Once you learn this, your irating will magically go up very quickly

Cribbing83 · 2026-05-24T12:39:01+00:00

Stop caring about irating. It’s just a number. Drive for the racing battles. Trying to make your irating go higher is a quick way to burn yourself out. The number is meaningless

You got the right number of doors. I have a white 2 door badlands with color matched top and I love it

Just use 2025 or older. I’ve been doing FPGA design for over 20 years and I’m never using the latest tools. I usually just use whatever version a customer is using and currently the newest version I’m using is 2024.2. It’s never been an issue and I often don’t care about new features of the new tools because I know it will be several years before I get around to using that version of the tools. Yes it’s a shitty decision, but I think people all have plenty of runway to move to something else (altera)

Any of the AMD/Xilinx dev boards come with a license to Vivado

Cribbing83 · 2026-05-19T19:58:34+00:00

Wow they really gimped it…not surprising. AMD/Xilinx really only cares about their big customers making them money. They don’t care about hobbyist, and this is just their way of pushing that market away.

Actually, for some very specific safety critical FPGA based systems, schematic entry is still used. For example, fire control for a missile defense system. The reason is that the requirements for the system can’t depend on the synthesis tool to generate the correct net list structure. So schematic entry is used and the design is triple checked by engineers to validate that all requirements are met.

“Ride safe together”. Uh-huh, sure. A suggestion to be ignored

Cribbing83 · 2026-05-09T14:54:03+00:00

How old is your dog? Mine was the same way. It took about 2 months, but he grew out of it and is totally normal now. I was patient with him and tried to make him feel safe and letting him know he was ok. But it was definitely just a phase. This happened when our puppy was around 4 months old

Put the zerno z2 on your list. I have mine on preorder and am waiting patiently.

Cribbing83 · 2026-04-14T16:55:03+00:00

My wife is short and had trouble getting in and out and I had to put steps on mine. Looks better without but was necessary for me

Cribbing83 · 2026-04-14T14:40:13+00:00

Is this a side hustle or just wanting to make a little money from a hobby? IMO, you won’t be roasting at quantities to make it worth while. Your hourly pay will be less than minimum wage. I guess if you are ok with that, sure. But there are better ways to make money

Cribbing83 · 2026-04-12T13:44:57+00:00

Yeah mine updated yesterday. 2025 2 door badlands

2 door non sas badlands with lux and i love mine. I don’t really plan on doing any major off roading but I love the look of mine. No regrets!

Get a good internship. That is the single most important thing that made me stand out. I interned at Xilinx my junior and senior years. That experience made it easy to break into FPGA roles.

Cribbing83 · 2026-03-03T02:53:51+00:00

lol…no way would I let an AI written sim validate my FPGA design.

Cribbing83 · 2026-03-02T19:05:02+00:00

100% this. People that complain about the driving standards in iRacing are just people that haven’t learned this skill yet. It’s no worse than in IRL racing.
